Movies and TV

Al Murray's Pub Landlord is a comedic character embodying a stereotypical British pub owner. He is known for his staunchly patriotic, often xenophobic, and frequently politically incorrect pronouncements.

The character, created by comedian Al Murray, first emerged on the stand-up circuit and gained wider recognition through television appearances. He has featured in shows like "Time Gentlemen Please" and "Al Murray's Happy Hour," using the platform to satirize British culture and societal attitudes through the lens of his pub persona.

The Pub Landlord's act typically involves delivering mock-serious monologues on topics ranging from national identity to the proper way to pull a pint. He often interacts with the audience, playfully berating them for perceived cultural transgressions. Despite the character's overtly offensive views, the humor lies in the absurdity of the caricature and the exaggeration of prevalent social biases.

The character has also appeared in movies such as "The Guvnors" and during the 2015 UK General Election, where Murray stood as a candidate for the "Free United Kingdom Party (FUKP)," further cementing his place in British comedic history.
